David Hyde

Therapist

About

As a dedicated clinician with over 40 years of experience across diverse therapeutic settings, I have developed a practice that balances specialised expertise in dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) with a broad, person-centred approach. My clinical foundation is built on working with complex emotional personality disorders and treatment-resistant presentations within inpatient units, community health, or private practice.

While I am deeply committed to the structured, evidence-based framework of DBT, my wider experience allows me to remain flexible. I don't just see a diagnosis – I see a whole person, bringing a grounded, well-rounded perspective to every session.

My mission is to help clients find the middle path. By balancing deep validation with practical, change-oriented strategies, I support individuals in breaking cycles of dysregulation and building a foundation of lasting stability.
